Jeremy Shafer

Jeremy C. Shafer, Esq. is a partner at eJustice. He is an experienced plaintiff’s attorney with more than two decades of experience representing individuals, families, businesses, and institutions in state and federal courts. His practice has focused exclusively on representing plaintiffs since 2012, with an emphasis on complex litigation and mass-tort matters.

Mr. Shafer began his plaintiff-side practice in 2012 with his own mass-torts firm, where he developed and managed an inventory of more than 1,000 cases involving a variety of mass torts, including transvaginal mesh, low-testosterone treatments, metal-on-metal hip implants, and Paxil birth-defect claims. His experience encompasses the full lifecycle of mass-tort litigation, including claimant acquisition and screening, case development, litigation management, multidistrict litigation, coordinated proceedings, and resolution.

In 2015, Mr. Shafer joined Banner Legal as a partner, combining his litigation experience with the firm’s sophisticated capabilities in mass-tort marketing, client acquisition, intake, and case management. At Banner Legal, he has helped develop and manage national plaintiff-side practices involving pharmaceutical, medical-device, environmental, and other complex claims.

A significant focus of Mr. Shafer’s practice has been representing veterans and their families. Through Banner Legal and its affiliated Veteran Legal Group, he has worked to expand the firm’s representation of veterans in VA benefits matters and complex litigation. His mass-tort experience includes representing veterans and other claimants in matters involving PFAS “forever chemicals,” defective military earplugs, and claims arising under federal anti-terrorism statutes, among other complex cases.

Mr. Shafer brings a combination of litigation experience and business and financial knowledge to eJustice. In addition to his law degree, he holds an MBA from the University of San Diego and has prior experience representing financial institutions, lenders, mortgage funds, and other businesses. This background has given him a broad perspective on the legal, operational, and financial considerations involved in complex litigation and the management of large portfolios of claims.

Mr. Shafer earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego in political science, with a minor in theater, and received both his Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration from the University of San Diego. He is admitted to practice law in California, Washington, D.C., and Texas, as well as the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Central Districts of California and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
